As MassiveRetaliation already pointed out, it is indeed the TV-movie "The Preppie Murder". It was based upon a true incident that took place in New York's Central Park in 1986.

William Baldwin played the part of Robert Chambers, Jr., in the title role. Lara Flynn Boyle played the doomed girlfriend, Jennifer Dawn Levin.

Last month, the real-life killer Chambers was released from prison after serving 15 years. Jennifer Levin's family are, to say the very least, most unhappy about his release.

Hope this helps!
